“Of 638 members in their department, only 10 per cent voted in the general assembly.”
That’s a sad voter turnout but to the student union it’s a mandate so… game on.
Well, only 33 percent of the city’s eligible voters voted in the election that gave Mayor Tremblay his current mandate, and I’ll bet only 10 percent of people under 25 bothered to vote in that election. It’s just the trend. Once again, if students want their will to be heard, they have to learn to vote – in any situation. Or they’ll find that decisions have been made for them.
